380:(N3317L), was coming in to land on the same runway. After landing, DAL 379 received permission to turn 180° to reach an intersection they had passed, but the DC-9 was unable to complete the turn and ran off the paved runway. While most of the aircraft was stuck in the mud well away from the runway, the tail was only approximately 7 feet (2.1 m) from the edge of the runway. The rearmost exterior light on DAL 379 was 45 feet (14 m) from the edge of the runway, which might have caused DAL 379 to appear at a distance to be farther from the runway than it actually was.
413:(FAA) regulations nor the Terminal Air Traffic Control Procedures Manual defined the phrase "clear of the runway," and found that the pilots of each plane and the air traffic controller each had their own slightly different definition of the term. The NTSB concluded that DAL 379 was not actually "clear of the runway" because its jet exhaust continued to pose a hazard to aircraft attempting to use runway 27L.
409:(NTSB) investigated the accident. Although the tail of the Delta DC-9 was several feet from the runway, the NTSB determined that DAL 379's engines were still operating at idle when Flight 159 attempted to take off, and DAL 379's idling jet engines were directing hot jet exhaust over the runway. The NTSB determined that neither

exhaust. In his minority report, Mr. McAdams said that he would have found the probable cause of the accident to be the Delta crew's failure to adequately advise the tower of the proximity to the runway, and the tower's failure to request additional and precise information prior to clearing TWA 159
383:
At 18:39, while DAL 379 was in the process of clearing the runway, Flight 159 was cleared for takeoff. Before Flight 159 began moving, the tower controller observed that DAL 379 had stopped moving, and called DAL 379 to confirm they were clear of the runway. The captain of the Delta DC-9 replied,
387:
Neither pilot aboard Flight 159 initially saw how close DAL 379 was to the runway. As Flight 159 sped down the runway, the captain observed that the DC-9 was "off the runway" by only "five, six, seven feet or something of that nature." As the Boeing 707 passed the Delta plane, the pilots heard a

The majority opinion presented by the NTSB accident report determined that the cause of the accident was the TWA flight crew's inability to successfully abort takeoff procedures due to an excess of speed. The NTSB recommended revisions and expansions to airline abort procedures and new FAA

The aircraft overran the end of the runway, went over the edge of a hill, and became airborne for 67 feet (20 m). It then struck the ground again, shearing off the main landing gear and displacing the nosewheel rearward. The Boeing 707 slid down an embankment and came to rest 421 feet
384:"Yeah, we're in the dirt though." The tower controller then advised TWA 159 that DAL 379 was clear of the runway, and that Flight 159 was cleared for takeoff. With the first officer operating the controls, Flight 159 then began its takeoff roll down runway 27L.
